He Chose the So-Called Sister Chapter 406: A Nightmare Made Real

In that moment, Sherry finally understood she was perfectly sane. If anything had ever felt wrong with her, it was only because everyone around her had lied and slandered her until she could no longer trust her own mind and body.

"Let's get out of here. A filthy place like this doesn't belong to people like us. It reeks of rot."

"Sherry, tell these men to let me go right now! You can't do this to me, or I'll make my brother divorce you!" Even now, Cathy still could not believe Sherry would truly end things with Gilbert.

She had seen how deeply Sherry once loved him.

Once, Sherry had given up everything for him—even her dignity.

But Sherry left without a single glance back.

Cathy turned to Lucas, hoping a man would take pity on a pretty face.

But he did not so much as look at her. He only paused briefly beside Eileen, his gaze cold and indifferent.

Eileen had been defiant moments before. After all, the staff here answered to her, and she held dirt on countless powerful people.

She had nothing to fear.

But Lucas' entire demeanor had shifted. A dangerous, predatory aura radiated off him, the kind that could destroy a life with a single casual remark.

His voice was calm, but deadly. "Looks like this trash has ruined plenty of lives. Don't let her die too easily. Double everything she described. Oh, and one more thing."

His eyes fell on the trembling electricians.

"Finish what you were about to do. Let Ms. Gable experience it personally. And this place is quiet—keep it that way. You understand what to do."

He meant to silence her forever.

Eileen's face turned pale. Cathy collapsed to the floor in terror. This man was a devil.

"Does Sherry know what you're really like? She's such a kind person—she'd never stay near you if she knew!"

Lucas finally flicked his gaze toward her. "You know she's kind, and you still felt entitled to bully her."

Cathy had looked down on Sherry long ago. She'd decided Sherry was useless to the Bode family.

Julia, on the other hand, brought status and respect. So Cathy had ignored every injustice Sherry suffered.

It all came down to one thing: they'd believed Sherry wasn't from a good enough family.

If she wanted to marry into wealth, this was the price she had to pay.

"Add the same treatment for Ms. Bode."

Cathy had seen what the basic version did to people—reducing them to helpless, humiliated messes. With the voltage cranked up...

"No! You can't do this to me! I'm a girl! I'll be ruined! Don't you fear my brother—"

"Ah, yes, your brother. When you get out will depend entirely on when he comes for you. Don't worry. Everyone will still believe Sherry's the one here. The longer you stay, the more brilliant Julia's plan will seem.

"Remember this—every day you suffer is because Julia doesn't want you back. If she cared, she would've found you here long ago. She's the one who picked this place, after all."

Soon enough, the two women learned what true hell felt like.

They were strapped down and screamed in agony, their cries raw and desperate. Cathy convulsed in the chair and lost control of her bladder, humiliated beyond belief as Lucas watched her disgrace.

She wanted to die. Never in her life had she been so utterly degraded.

Before leaving, Lucas added dryly, "I have to say, Ms. Gable, you really do have a knack for being on camera. The lenses you set up captured every bit of your shame perfectly."

Cathy's mind cleared with terrifying clarity. "What? There were cameras? We were filmed? You sick bastard! Eileen, I'll kill you!"

She was nearly driven mad.

If that footage got out, she would be ruined. No one would marry her. She would be alone forever.

Eileen was older and could barely endure the pain. At her age, to be subjected to such torment—all because of these people.

"I'll kill you first! You never told me I'd crossed Mr. Harrison! You dragged me down with you!" she snarled, her eyes vicious.

Fearing the Harrison family was only natural.

But that didn't mean she had to fear Lucas.

Outside the highest elite circles, almost no one knew the full extent of his power. Eileen was no different. If she survived, she would make Lucas suffer.

...

Beneath the moonlight, Julia danced gracefully on a terrace. Gilbert stood nearby, looking faintly troubled.

"Sherry should be fine, right? Is that place even legitimate? Sherry..."

"Gilbert," Julia said, calm and pleased. She knew exactly what happened to women sent there. Never mind twenty, even eighteen would end up wetting herself.
